React Vs Vue

1. React Vs Vue: Which JavaScript Should You Choose For Web Development We intend to help a reader make an informed decision while choosing between Vue and React for web application development. React v/s Vue framework The Stack Overflow Survey 2020 stated that ‘68.9% of developers are using React.js to develop web applications while 66.0% of developers use Vue.js. Let’s see the key differences between React and Vue. 1. React is an open-source JavaScript library developed by Meta in 2013, while Evan You, founder of Vue Technology LLC created Vue in 2014, using ReactJS as a source of inspiration for it. Vue is progressive JavaScript framework.

2. 2. As far as the approach to rendering content to Document Object Model (DOM) is concerned, React uses JavaScript Syntax Extension (JSX) for creating React components, while Vue uses HTML templates apart from JSX. Moreover, Vue is most popular among HTML developers in contrast to React which is loved by JavaScript developers who want to style and code everything using JavaScript/ES7. 3. React has competent architecture, Virtual DOM manipulation, and component state management, providing developers with more freedom in terms of tools (pre-built and third-party). However, new developers may be overwhelmed by the abundance of third-party tools/instruments. The widespread tools and libraries are developed by the core team for Vue. Additionally, there are community-based solutions as well. Therefore, this framework has a more balanced number and combination of third-party and pre-built tools. This helps both experienced developers and new ones to work smoothy through the tools. 4. Since React is backed by Meta, it is more popular and has a larger community. In fact, React has over 187k GitHub stars along with the continuously growing community. Vue has a smaller community, and limited resources and modules. 5. React is simple to pick up for someone who has already worked with JavaScript. Furthermore, formation of a team becomes easier due to the lower learning curve, since any beginner or professional developer can engage. React js was used by 40.14 percent of the developers in 2021. Vue, on the other hand, is the simplest framework to study and understand of all the JavaScript frameworks. It is estimated to take anywhere from a few hours to less than a week to learn. 6. Performance (Speed wise) of an application developed using React is simply quicker than an application created using Vue. React applications have simpler performance in experience to users and components that function well together. Applications developed using Vue on the other hand become more unclear if any addition of new option or components take place, taking more time to load. However, lazy loading feature of Vue helps in reducing the load time to some extent.
